    I'll probably ride my RSTD to maintence day. It hasn't had a long run since I bought the Millenium RSV last spring. Plus the rear tire on the Millenium only has a few short trips left in it (although I've been thinking that for a couple months already) and probably wouldn't make it to Ohio. I'm going to try to ride all the way on Thursday and get camp set up before dark. I want to watch V7Goose's steering bearing clinic on Friday, and I haven't had the fairing off my RSV yet, so can see/help do that. The weather report looks good for Friday and Saturday.

    the 05-09 Tour Deluxe are the same as the 99-2011 RSV.

    very few 99 and up RSV/RSTD riders get 44mpg except under very controlled easy rides.

    I recently had Partshark send me the wrong part too. It was in a bag with the right part number, but clearly the wrong part. It was for my Triumph, and they got it from their Triumph supplier that way and obviously no one knowledgable at either place looked at the part.

    long rides?

    RandyR replied to Hfab5's topic in Watering Hole

    not a problem. check the pictures in past rallies of riders and where they came from.

    I ride an 08 RSTD. If you look around you can find a NEW old stock 0 miles RSTD for about the price you quoted. That means the 5 year warranty starts at purchase. The best in the business. here's my take on it. The seat is as comfortable as any of the dozen or so stock motorcycle seats I've owned over 40 years of riding. yes it can be improved and customized. Actually its a pretty good stock seat. The stock tires likewise can be improved upon, but generally you can wait until they are worn out thru riding. I did, and unless you're pushing the bike to the limit in twisties they're ok. btw, this is an 800+ lb motorcycle and I think riding it like a 400 lb bike is an accident waiting to happen. If you ride 2 up with 500lbs of rider & passenger expect to replace the rear shock at 40,000 miles. I don't think levelling links are needed. The slightly narrower 130 front tire does improve handling though. gear box whine. yep. But most motorcycles have whine of some kind. Probably not significantly worse than your VTX. probably not as quiet as a Honda ST or BMW K. The bike is relatively easy to work on. Everything you need to know is posted here in this forum somewhere. But if treated well, the norm is that major failures on the RSTD are very rare.

    Which one has the grass cutting attachment?
  24. RandyR
    I like it.... It would be interesting to know how much the seat height may have been be lowered.

    I don't think this is the first time someone has burned a clutch on the RSV doing the MSF course is it?
